Here's a crazy question. Can I run a flex app without a display?
For example, I have these charts that I create with the data visualization library and once created, I output them to a pdf using AlivePDF (which is great by the way). It would be nice if I could automate this process by passing the chart data and layout info as FlashVar parameters and automatically generate the pdf. It would also be nice to be able to run the swf from the command-line when a chart-pdf request is made. Otherwise, the only way I could think of doing this is creating a farm of flex apps running, ocassionally pinging a central server for "make-chart-pdf" requests, get the request, make the pdf, and start pinging again. The ultimate goal here is to automate creating a PDF that contains the same look Flex charts. Anybody have a better solution?
